Been monitoring this site for a while waiting for that news - thanks for finding and posting the story! Previous planning board minutes referenced 8 Tesla v3 stalls as well.

Huge neon marketplace site at 1874 Mineral Spring Ave North Providence RI will have View attachment 7930248V3 Superchargers.

Excited to see when work gets started. The Neon project a few miles away on Dean St and Pleasant Valley Parkway Providence by the I-95 and RT 10 on ramps is moving along nicely.

Haven’t seen any updates to the North Providence site, however the Providence Neon Location is rapidly progressing.

Probably won't see North Providence updates for a bit - planning board just recently approved the plan, so it takes time to get contractors lined up, etc.... The list of Neon locations under development growing quickly. Add to that the list of other Tesla supercharger sites in the region, and it's clear we have more work than contractors available to build them. I think the company doing the majority of New England supercharger builds (Gordon Construction) has about two crews. I think there are probably 2-3 other companies seen doing superchargers in New England, but so far they aren't doing as many jobs as Gordon is (or typically as quickly I might add).

Note: I should add Gordon Construction is Rhode Island based, so clearly they could have a bias to doing Neon locations closer to home vs. the travel jobs in northern New England where the crews hotel for the week.

Adding to my previous post... we are aware of a Neon Marketplace construction project well underway Freetown, MA that we believe a Tesla Supercharger may included but have not yet found any written documentation to support a forum post. Another Neon Marketplace project has just surfaced for Fall River as well (I don't think it's come before the Fall River planning board yet - don't know since Fall River is in the dark ages and nothing is online). Neon has stated that they plan to include EV charging in all their new builds - but has also stated they intend to partner not just with Tesla, but also ChargePoint.

Ok - confirmed the Fall River location with have a supercharger if the city approves the zoning amendment and subsequently approves the site plan. Not yet sure if the Freetown, MA Neon site already under construction will have superchargers. Word on the street is that it will, but don't have anything in writing to confirm it. Will probably start a thread to track it...

North Providence issued building permit #10247 6/1/2022 to demo two buildings and build a c-store at this location (1874 Mineral Springs Ave). At some point a supercharger permit will be pulled undoubtedly to go along with it - could be any time from now to just before the supercharger construction itself.

The supercharger construction at the new Neon Marketplace builds is being scheduled to occur towards the end of the c-store build, once the parking lot boundaries are well defined in terms of curbing and/or paving. This applies to this location which hasn't even begun demo work, and others such as Freetown, MA whose c-store structure is nearly complete but it's parking lot construction is still a work in progress.

Thank you! Nice to see this moving along now.

A bunch of additional building, mechanical, plumbing and electrical permits have been opened over the past few months. Supercharger permits themselves are still not issued yet (not unusual).

Progress!

FYI this Neon opened some time ago. There is no current indication this location will be getting a supercharger unfortunately. We may end up dropping this permitted site from supercharge.info as a result.
